Original
Point.Blank Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to walk quickly past the water's edge
Didn't wanna see my own reflection
But I just stepped off the highest ledge
And fell into the sea of imperfection

And just like every other time before
I washed up in pieces on the shore
But you found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful

You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing

Yeah, I was wading in deep despair
Wandering with no sense of direction
Thinking prayers just vanished in the air
Cause I got myself in this situation

And just like every other time before
You made the pieces into so much more

You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful

You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing

I know I'm not worthy of this
Never ending perfect love

You found beauty in this broken thing
And I can't imagine anything more beautiful

You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful

You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
Was left inside this broken thing

I know I'm not worthy of this
Never ending perfect love

I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You found beauty in this broken thing
This broken thing





I know I'm not worthy of this love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Point.Blank’s song Original talks about a person who finds themselves in a broken state, having fallen into despair and feeling unworthy of love. The song starts with the person trying to avoid their reflection in a body of water, indicating that they’re not happy with who they are. However, they eventually succumb to their flaws and fall into a sea of imperfection. This situation has happened before, and they’ve washed up in pieces on the shore - this can be interpreted as having gone through a difficult situation previously and feeling like they’ve come out with scars.


However, the mood of the song changes with the introduction of a second person who finds beauty in the brokenness of the singer. This second person helps to restore the dignity that had been lost and finds value in the damaged part of the singer. The lyrics ‘Made angels dance with wounded wings’ highlights the fact that even in difficult situations, there is still a chance for beauty and hope.


Towards the end of the song, the singer recognizes that they’re not worthy of the love that has been shown to them but acknowledges that it’s a beautiful thing nonetheless. The song leaves a feeling of hope and redemption, and the message is that even the broken parts of ourselves can be restored and seen as something beautiful.

When people say they don’t make films like this anymore… they don’t mean in a Downtown Abbey way. The violence and pace and lack of endless scenes you don’t need make this a great film. And John Boreman is still with us!

Liam Stephenson

A lone wolf bent on revenge often makes a great movie and this one certainly delivers.
